Bridging Cultures - Growing Early Scientist

About This Grant

This project will target immigrants/refugees, low income, non/limited English speaking persons, persons with disabilities, child care providers, and those with limited functional literacy, pre-k children, and rural, suburban and urban populations. There are multiple benefits associated with this project: reduce persistent academic achievement gaps with emphasis on math and science; foster equitable access and efficacy of current resources; reduce the cultural disconnection between parents and educators/schools and develop an “I know how to do it/self-efficacy” culture; support home child care providers with improved opportunities for training.
